Abstract

III Convegno Internazionale "Laterizio" (Roma, 6-8 marzo 2019). Dopo i primi due appuntamenti (Roma, novembre 2014) e (Padova, aprile 2016) il terzo Convegno Internazionale sul Laterizio si concentra sull’ultima parte della lunga vita del laterizio romano. Il consolidamento delle nostre conoscenze sulla nascita, la diffusione e la messa in opera di questo materiale di costruzione ha portato naturalmente a chiedersi come e fino a quando è stato usato e soprattutto reimpiegato, riciclato e reinventato nel Mediterraneo occidentale. A partire dall’eredità romana, infatti, innovative forme di impiego costruttivo del laterizio hanno creato i presupposti per nuove forme espressive nell’architettura. L’incontro si è quindi focalizzato sui momenti successivi al primo utilizzo, con nuovi dati e riflessioni sull’organizzazione dei cantieri di spoliazione e la pianificazione della ridistribuzione del materiale; sulla riutilizzazione del laterizio antico, riciclato in nuovi usi e nuovi cantieri; sugli elementi di tradizione e innovazione presenti nelle nuove produzioni e tecniche edilizie.

Abstract

Le règne de Napoléon apporte en architecture une impulsion décisive. Entre les desseins "révolutionnaires" de la fin du Siècle des Lumières et les grandes mutations urbaines du XIXe siècle, les initiatives privées et publiques s'y multiplient avec l'ambition de moderniser les villes et les territoires. L'Empire demande des palais, des monuments symboliques et commémoratifs, des équipements et de nouveaux quartiers d'habitation, mais aussi des espaces publics rénovés et des infrastructures. Il puise ses références dans l'Italie antique et Renaissance, alliant le modèle italien et la culture architecturale parisienne. Le volontarisme napoléonien, qui alimente cet idéal de réforme architectural et urbain, fait de Paris et Milan deux grands laboratoires. Mais l'entreprise se décline à toutes les échelles, touchant de nombreuses villes des deux côtés des Alpes. Centrés sur la culture architecturale italienne et française à l'époque napoléonienne (1796-1815), les essais réunis dans ce volume dressent un bilan de cinquante ans de réflexion dans les domaines de la théorie, de l'enseignement, de la création architecturale et du décor.

Abstract

"As he entered his seventies, the great Italian Renaissance artist Michelangelo despaired that his productive years were past. Anguished by the death of friends and discouraged by the loss of commissions to younger artists, this supreme painter and sculptor began carving his own tomb. It was at this unlikely moment that fate intervened to task Michelangelo with the most ambitious and daunting project of his long creative life. 'Michelangelo, God's Architect' is the first book to tell the full story of Michelangelo's final two decades, when the peerless artist refashioned himself into the master architect of St. Peter's Basilica and other major buildings. When the Pope handed Michelangelo control of the St. Peter's project in 1546, it was a study in architectural mismanagement, plagued by flawed design and faulty engineering. Assessing the situation with his uncompromising eye and razor-sharp intellect, Michelangelo overcame the furious resistance of Church officials to persuade the Pope that it was time to start over. In this richly illustrated book, leading Michelangelo expert William Wallace sheds new light on this least familiar part of Michelangelo's biography, revealing a creative genius who was also a skilled engineer and enterprising businessman. The challenge of building St. Peter's deepened Michelangelo's faith, Wallace shows. Fighting the intrigues of Church politics and his own declining health, Michelangelo became convinced that he was destined to build the largest and most magnificent church ever conceived. And he was determined to live long enough that no other architect could alter his design."--
